Next week, from Monday to Friday, people from Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube - the drinks counterpart to Food Tube - will be popping up at Old Street Underground Station to demonstrate how to make cocktails.

Note that there's nothing to buy and that they are severely restricted on handing out alcohol, but people can come down and watch what's happening and please make a request for a new cocktail through social media using the hashtag #CocktailRequest

You can suggest your own, or a favourite ingredient for inspiration, and if you're chosen they will make it.

"Next week Jamie Oliver’s Drinks Tube is setting up shop in Old Street Tube Station in East London for a special week of cocktail making.They will be taking requests from passers by, Twitter and Facebook followers, and a few choice celebrities, then knocking them up throughout the day. To get involved and get your cocktail made just use the hashtag #cocktailrequest to send us a picture of your favourite ingredient, or a scene that you think might inspire our mixologists. They’ll then knock it up and the video uploaded to Drinks Tube as soon as it’s ready.If we pick your picture not only will you get a mention and a cocktail recipe, we’ll even name the cocktail after you. If you’re in the vicinity you could even come down and watch it being made and filmed – on the day we’ll have lots of special guests, including Simone Caporale, DJ BBQ, Gennaro and Jonny from the Craft Beer Channel."
